Positive: Professionalism
Having never worked with an attorney before, we were a little nervous. Mark Baus was extremely helpful and more than we could've hoped for. We found him to be very knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. He answered all our questions, provided sound advice and followed up to ensure we were totally satisfied. Highly recommend!

One of the best decisions I have ever made was to engage Murphy & Prachthauser. I interviewed a number of firms and they stood out in that process. The people there are authentic, competent and assertive in pursuing your interests, Don Prachthauser and Michelle Hockers were with me every step of the way. Both were thoughtful, steadfast and tenacious when need be while always keeping me informed. The representation I received was stellar and I would strongly encourage anyone to consider these professionals.

From the onset of my legal case to the final settlement, I felt that the law team at Murphy & Prachthauser, S.C., specifically Keith Stachowiak and his staff, did their best to fight for me. Keith and assistants worked hard to gather all records (medical, insurance, etc.) while bringing in a team of experts in medicine and physical fitness/training to determine that my case was indeed legitimate. I was kept updated at all times throughout the process. I felt that I always had a sounding board. I would highly recommend Keith and his team, affiliated with Murphy & Prachthauser, S.C. to anyone seeking

After being injured in an auto accident. I did not first seek out attorney help. I treated my injuries until completion. After completing necessary medical treatment, with months of unreturned phone calls from the at fault insurance company I thought I may be in better hands with legal help on my side. I worked with both Michelle and Don, and received phenomenal service from both. The office works as a whole which is great. If Michelle or Don were busy, somebody else would get back to me always within the hour. Of course during a stressful time like this and many questions, that is a really great

From beginning to end of my case I felt very taken care of by my lawyers. I had most contact with Keith Stachowiak. He always got back to me and in a timely fashion to answer all my questions through the process. I highly recommend him and the company as a whole. Thank you for getting me an amazing settlement. I’m one pleased customer!

Michelle Hockers was amazing! After being dropped from Gruber Law Offices, I was left with a debt of $13,000. My case wasn't an open and close case and I needed an attorney that was willing to work for me. I found Murphy and Practhauser and from day one they fought for me. They settled my case with Lamers Bus Company and I was able to pay off the debt Gruber left me with and I was left with money in my pocket. I highly recommend Murphy and Prachthauser Attorneys At Law!

I am very happy with the experience I had at Murphy & Prachthauser. I needed a law firm that would support me through an extremely difficult time, working to on my case and with the emotional stress that came along with it. Thadd and his team offered this support. In addition Thadd had expert advice addressing different options for my case throughout the journey and explained each option thoroughly. I could not offer you a better team for your personal injury law needs. I am very impressed with this law firm that has become part of my Milwaukee family.
Thank you Murphy & Prachtauser for your continued

Thadd, Keith, and Lanette did a spectacular job handling my case. They provided honest, upfront, and clear communication at ever step along the way and answered all questions I had quickly.
Their confidence as soon as I brought the case to them was impressive and one of the main reasons I chose to have them represent me. There's no doubt in my mind that I made the right choice and I highly recommend them.
